Hi,

I think the error is raised because you have no rights to write to the 
mentioned directory. I assume, that /mnt/data2/Boulot/svnrepos/pyScp is your 
repository path and you want to Create a new eric project from repository 
(i.e. perform a checkout). That is done by the following steps.

1. Select Project menu -> Version Control -> New from repository

2. Select Subversion

3. Enter the following
Protocol: file://
URL: /mnt/data2/Boulot/svnrepos/pyScp
Tag: leave empty
Project Directory: Enter (or select) a directory, where the checked out files 
should be copied to
Repository has standard layout: uncheck, if it doesn't have the recommended 
layout (see below)

4. Press OK.

Standard layout would be .../pyScp/trunk (for the development), .../pyScp/tags 
(for tags) and .../pyScp/branches (for branches)

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Detlev
